Bradley Barcola is not interested in a move to Liverpool this summer with Paris Saint-Germain adamant he is not for sale.
The 22-year-old enjoyed a sensational campaign in the French capital, helping the club finally clinch the Champions League with a wonderful return of 21 goals and 19 assists during the 2024-25 campaign.
With PSG boasting perhaps the most exciting forward line in European football, Barcola was competing with Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for a starting berth with one of that quartet usually left on the bench.
Barcola was the unlucky man in the Champions League final against Inter earlier this month, still coming off the bench to grab an assist.
While there has been no indication he is unhappy with the situation in Paris, reports have claimed Liverpool will look to tempt him to Merseyside in a £100million deal once they have wrapped up a deal for Florian Wirtz.
